Back on stage 121, Hiroyuki and Kendo prepare to pass each other in the air. Hiroyuki tells Kendo not to worry, because he's going to catch up to them. Kendo tries to hide himself, but Hiroyuki doesn't want him to do so. He's worried that Kendo will catch him, so he tells him to go ahead and hide himself. He also tells Hiroyuki that he'll be able to climb the tower when he gets to the top. He says he heard about the first manned ship being built in the future, and he thinks he can stand a chance at it. He wants to go beyond the tower, too, and so he wants to earn money to go to school.
